jrsteensen Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hey guys, been compiling data on the stick and came up with this chart as I was doing some calculations. Our intent is to capture the real force gradients and breakout forces on the stick.

aniron Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 And the pedals are done, and integrated into the pit. No mods required to the Crosswinds. [ATTACH]201739[/ATTACH] They have about 7 inches of electric adjustment, then can be manually slid back and forth on a rail and locked in place so you can place the CL of that 7 inches wherever you need to. As a MFG Crosswinds user, I can only say SWEET! Looking forward to the point where we can start approximating your excellent work in our own pits.

jrsteensen Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 I couldnt have done it without RandomTroubledMinds work on the pedals and his meticulous work on reference models for me to work from. Speaking of, here is the release of the pedals. It's about a 15 hour print per pedal. Hope you guys enjoy them - they install on your Crosswinds pedals with your stock pedal HW. https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbench/projects/gcCsuFphr191MNK1hqtDKjijgQCBU_-ITV8Xu8nxLG-1SC#/space/gcIa1SQPPS0hxTytOzdhNwV22PVTUSm0S1dRDv-nNKRnPs/folder/3132395 Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk OpenHornet F/A-18C 1:1 SimPit Website :: DCS Thread Link :: Discord :: Github :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98abaile Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Awesome. What print settings did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsteensen Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Awesome. What print settings did you use?IIRC he said he used .20 layer height at 30 degree infil. These were a test print of PLA, so not sure how they will hold up - I'll probably print them out of PET.

WARonWAR Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 This is so awesome guys. Printing the pedals now. Looking good so far. As someone who is trying to make my own hornet pit (I’m about half way done), I can really apreciate all the work you are putting in to this. Can’t wait to see your finished product!

jrsteensen Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 So I'm redoing the rudder gantry. Decided I wanted a more mechanical solution, but will still use a solenoid to unlock the FWD/AFT adjust of the pedals to reduce the complexity of the linkages.

Beazle Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Amazing work thanks a lot for the insane amoujnt of work you guys are doing!! What is the width from the sidewalls? I'd like to see if it is too narrow for my car seat I am using. Beazle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARonWAR Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) What is the width from the sidewalls? I'd like to see if it is too narrow for my car seat I am using. Mine measured 55cm from the outside left pedal to the outside right pedal, and about 27cm from the inside left pedal to the inside right pedal when mounted on the crosswinds.

Beazle Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks WARonWAR, another question. About the ABSIS shields for the nano and the mega, how is that going ot work? is it something that will be available online somewhere or we will have to build it from scratch, I am just not sure how ABSIS works. thanks Beazle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ABSIS shields will be released with our design, but it will ultimately be on the user to have them fabricated and to purchase the components and solder them together. Due to quantities required, we are thinking about selling a run on the site since the min buy QTYs will be greater than what you need for assembly. (More along the lines of organizing group buys to drive economies of scale and QTY discounts.) Nothing for sure on that front though.

Beazle Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have another question jrsteensen; I was looking at the systeme architecture. I notice that it is divided in left, center and right console. And if I understand well, mega boards and nano boards have to be wired together. Can you explain me how is that achieved or what is the name of the process so I can do research on the topic please? Also for power is your design going to use wallwart?
